Something cool I’ve done with reveal.js slides: it’s just a web page, so why not embed an iframe? Instead of putting a slide that says “Now for a live demo!” and switching over to an editor, why not just embed an interactive editor? For example, here’s a slide from a presentation where I was showing off some fun features we had built into Sorbet’s[1] LSP editor support: https://sorbet.run/talks/RubyConf2019/#/18 The…

Hey! I’m the creator of reveal.js. Thanks for sharing. Happy to answer questions if you have any.

reveal.js was first released in 2011. A few years later I also launched a visual editing environment for reveal.js called Slides (slides.com). It has some pretty unique features targeted at developers, like a built-in CSS editor, access to the HTML source, and stepped line-by-line code highlighting. http://slides.com/news/developers

It’s been really great finding a sustainable way to continue working on open source (reveal.js) thanks to the revenue from the proprietary editor (Slides).

Can anyone recommend a realtime remote presentation solution? That is, something that updates the slides for the viewers as well, to use instead of sharing a screen with slides.

The reveal.js Multiplex plugin lets you do this, though it requires some manual setup to get the server running. https://github.com/reveal/multiplex

The official reveal.js platform at slides.com also support remote presenting, streamed to any number of viewers. More info and screenshots at https://help.slides.com/knowledgebase/articles/333924-presen...

Been using it since around 2013 for all sorts of presentations, from college to work to conference talks. Thanks for the great work!

I tend to think that page-based presentation is becoming a thing of the past. I usually write a big sprawling one-page HTML, magnify it, and do a presentation by gradually scrolling them. The advantages are obvious: - No need to tweak the content to fit the page boundary. - Highly accessible (adjustable to any screen). - No JS. - All figures are in SVGs. - Can also support printing (just insert CSS page break). - (ed…

Collaboration in real time with the fellow associates seem to be unavailable right ? That for me is then a no go

Glad to hear its continued to be useful for so long!

I’m a big fan of reveal.js via reveal-md: https://github.com/webpro/reveal-md . Makes it very easy to quickly create good looking slides without clicking around GUIs.

I've dabbled with reveal-md a bit and I like it, but I really want to love it more. I found that, even as a programmer, presentation slides is one of those things that I just wish I'm using a WYSIWYG GUI editor to create. I remember trying out reveal-md; and a little while later, went back to Google Slides next time, and found it simply more liberating to write slides in a GUI. I'll admit this may simply be personal preference though. Or I simply need to give it more time to try to write slides in markdown?

I use it for my personal website, and I use it as the front-end for a comic book viewer that I’m tinkering with. And naturally, I use Slides.com for my teaching slides and for my tech presentations. ;-)

Truly a versatile, well-made script.

Thanks for making it!

If you turn off JS, a revealjs slideshow will naturally degrade into a one-page HTML file.

Glad to see this on Hacker news! Hakims experiments into CSS, HTML and JS have always been a source of inspiration for me and got me curious about the possibilities of CSS (https://github.com/hakimel / https://hakim.se/). I also have a common interest in exploring the possibilities of Markdown so I've followed Slide and reveal.js with keen interest. For a while it was my number one choice for deck building. Super easy to use and great UX and probably the best Markdown to slide deck option out there.

If you want to code something similar though, my approach has been using Svelte.

Svelte is a framework for building user interfaces that uses a build step to compile your code. The syntax and API is awesome to work with and the first proof of concept took me from Markdown to a working slide deck in maybe 30 minutes. The pages are mostly pre rendered HTML with a small chunk of JS on top. Not the same great UX but... I will get there.

Have a look at my own experiments with Markdown to slide decks here https://www.fictionboard.com/demos where I show how decks can be used for storytelling and immersion in TTRPGs.

I'll probably finish a demo of markdown based interactive fiction and RPG character sheets this week. And I'll expose the syntax :-)
